Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

In the next 15 days, I'll have been without any sort of traditional TV service for 1 year

This thread motivated me to finally close my Dish account. Been meaning to do it for months, but there, now that it is done, I am a netflix-only household. The only thing I'm likely to miss is Mythbusters.

Discovery.com has tons and tons myths separated out into chunks. Like, several hundred. You can arrange them in playlists or you can choose from premade playlists.

@SonicRetard
Thanks for that. I use an xbmc setup to watch stuff on my TVs (like you I have slim-frontends attached to each TV in my house), and a little searching got me a compatible Boxee rss string to be able to stream their stuff. I like whole episodes better, but this will do.

I built an HTPC a couple years back. No Netflix or Hulu here, but freeview is HD over DVB-T with most decent shows within a few months of release. It wasn't until I started viewing what I wanted when I wanted with no ads that I realised how little TV I actually enjoy viewing. I can go weeks without watching any TV at all these days, just sitting down and binging for an evening on half a season all at once every couple of months. Although I suspect half of that is because I detest almost everything my wife watches.

Still, considering I have no account, no subscription, and no costs of any kind other than initial outlay, I'm pretty satisified with my low-cost TV option.

once I get rid of the box I will forever be free from the fucking bad girls club. It is an existence I look forward to

The only thing I wish is that the PS3 had a better browser. Shows that you can only get through the channel's website never quite load right and it makes me sad to miss Top Shot or have to watch it on my dopey computer monitor.

Carl Sagan, I am at the Gym.
It has been years since your passing, and I am
Curling weights with magnificent ease.
I’m stronger than I’ve ever been
And the guy at the front desk knows me.

who the fuck cares? I never had a TV in my own room when I was a kid, and since I moved out I didn't even have a tv, and neither do my 2 roommates
TV is for switching off your brain after work, and for that I use the internet

TV is passive, internet is active, how can you switch off your brain on the internet? Or do you mean via streaming shows, which was the point of the OP?
